Unless he changes nationality he wont get any respect on here from some of the posters. they cant come to terms with a british fighter being any good. Their brains just wont process it.

Even if hatton was a 12 weight world champion at the age of 95 and still unbeaten they will slag him off.
^ That statement is true of ALL boxers ^

Anyway, yes I will give a lot of respect to Hatton IF he beats Castillo, but it goes both ways right, if Castillo beats Hatton, it's not like people are going to respect the victory, there will be things like "Looks like that lifestyle finally caught up with Ricky", "It was an off-night", "Castillo got away with too many low-blows (that one will probably be true)", "It was a hometown decision"

Let me go on record saying this: "Kudos to Ricky for even taking this fight, win or lose he has gained my respect for taking it."
